Pierre Huyghe is one of the world’s leading artists. He creates porous and contingent environments, complex systems in which living and non-living, real and symbolic agents evolve. Although Huyghe intentionally alters the sites in which he works, events and growth are often encouraged to occur without his control. The exhibition is therefore changed irrevocably and unpredictably over the course of the time in which it exists.

Pierre Huyghe

Born in Paris in 1962 and based in New York, Huyghe works on situations that are often based on speculative models.

The environments he creates are complex systems in which interdependent agents, biotic and abiotic, real and symbolic are self-organising, co-evolving in a dynamic and unstable mesh. Crucially, the different modes of existence and intelligence involved are often imperceptible to the visitors who encounter them.

This new exhibition for the Serpentine follows Huyghe’s recent acclaimed ones, including After ALife Ahead for Skulptur Projekte Münster, 2017; Untilled at Documenta 13, 2012; and The Host and the Cloud in 2010.
